OME Campaign Takes Strange Turn; Supposed Socialist Backed by Reactionaries A dramatic novelty in Seattle political campaigns is furnished today in the candidacy of Dr. E. J. Brown, one-time radical socialist, as a nominee for mayor, backed by Associated Industries members, Washington Union League leaders, certain big business men who have some selfish in- terest to serve, all the pro-Jap forces of Seattle and a line-up of crooked politicians which is almost without parallel in one municipal political camp. Dr. Brown, in 1912 was an avowed “red” socialist. The files of Seattle newspapers disclose many columns of his paid advertisements in which he proudly announces this fact. By 1914 he had gone thru an internal party fight, a change which left him in the “yellow” socialist group. Later he ran for office as a democrat and preached.the doctrines of the democratic party. Since his nomination as mayor one week ago today he has lined up with him every sinister, reactio: political force in Seattle politics. He has inherited in toto the h Advisory Committee support that backed Meier—to Meier’s doom. True the Union League group is clever enough this time not to make its indorsement officially and collectively. In fact, its secretary has formally and solemnly informed The Star that it will not in this cam indorse any candidate for mayor. BUT ITS LEADERS HAVE IRSED BROWN, AND ARE BACKING HIM JUST AS THEY BACKED MEIER. But that is only the beginning. Read these facts: Dr. Brown is supported by GEORGE STEVENSON, veteran lobbyist, whose activities at Oiyragia extend back to the corrupt Levi Ankeny days and who is known thruout the state wherever crooked politicians gather as the “slickest” of a whole slick gang that used to debauch legislatures. More recently Stevenson has been specializing on city council matters of interest to various public service corporations. He was in the Meier camp; now he’s strong for Brown and doing a great deal to line up business in- terests for Brown. Brown is backed by GEORGE RUSSELL, politician, one-time postmas- ter. Russell was one of the big guns who fought as a lobbyist for the Japs when the alien land bill was before the legislature. He is a sterling member of the Dr. Matthews-Richard A: Ballinger clique that tried its best to nominate Meier. The morning after the primary found him in the Brown camp, an energetic worker. Brown is backed by JAY THOMAS, lobbyist notorious. Jay Thomas’ most recent activity is his plan to take the initiative and referendum away from the people. He is in the employ of many of the ultra-reaction- ary, special interest corporations. At recent sessions of the legislature when wild orgies were staged, Jay Thomas was not far away. Now he is a strong Brown henchman. These men and others like them this past week have cleverly spread the word thruout the business community that “Brown’s old socialistic ideas are just camouflage to get the Ballard and Phinney and Rainier Valley and West and South Seattle vote. Brown really is a man of prop- erty and big i income, and he'll be a mayor, if elected, that is ‘safe’ and de- pendable.” So, citizens of Seattle, there is your issue—Brown'with all the reaction- ary, special interests, corrupt-politician backing, or Dan Landon, clean, progressive, honest, who is running without organized backing, on a plat- form of decent, fair government for ALL Seattle. Brown must be beaten.
